Brief & slight cooldown & less breezy

Описание: Mild morning temperatures are once present with partly to mostly clear skies, occasional gusts of winds more from the north, & dry air.

Air temperatures in the north are starting off mostly from around the high 10s to the 40s, while elsewhere to the south, air temperatures are mostly ranging from the 30s to even the low 60s!

Slightly cooler air for most will be in store today with a weak backdoor front moving through this morning, but way-above-normal high temperatures are once again set for today. Areas from East New Mexico to the Pecos River Valley area will range from the 60s to the lower 80s from north to south from high to low elevation. Less-gusty north-northwesterly winds than yesterday from aloft will go up, over, and down the southeast-sloped mountain faces, gusting up to at least 25-35 mph, leading to the very mild process at the surface in this area as a result. The northern higher elevations will range from the high 40s to the 50s, while the northern valley floors to western and central areas will mostly range from the upper 60s to the lower 80s.

Fire weather chances will be slightly lower today with the elevated fire threat conditions. The ridge of high pressure, also responsible for the warming process ahead, will steer in some clouds with stronger northwesterly downsloping winds in northern areas with some patchy blowing dust and some reduced visibility occasionally as a result.

Record to near-record high temperatures will return for many this weekend with dry air and some breezy conditions occasionally.
